New Friends, New Ventures....

I have the distinct privilege of living in one of Ontario's most beautiful little towns on Georgian Bay, Meaford. One of the most beautiful things about Meaford is the great sense of community and pride we have in our town and the municipality as a whole. It is a small town of about 5000 people with the entire municipality totalling over 11,000, there has been an amalgamation which has left some bitter, some pleased and some indifferent but it is still a great place to be and I don't think I could find a better place to raise a family with my beautiful wife and three children.

One thing most people tend to think of small towns is that there is never anything or anybody new to get to know. I can't tell you how wrong that is. I have had the privilege of getting to know quite a few new (to me) people in our town and I can't believe that it has taken me this long to do so. I have met some of the most extraordinary people (who shall remain anonymous for their own privacy) although I would love to share their names so all could take the time to get to know them. It is extremely encouraging to find people out there who care about this community so much, who devote so much time and energy to promoting Meaford and all that it has to offer. You know who you are and I want you to know how much I admire and respect you all. I look forward to getting to know these people better as well as new people whom I have not met yet.
